Future Physicians America's Mini Medical School

MINI-MEDICAL SCHOOL introduces students in grades 4-8 to the wonders of medicine through hands-on exploration, and lectures. Activities include how to take a patient history and obtain a review of systems. We will learn to use the Physician's tools- such as the stethoscope, otoscope, sphygmomanometer & more. Students will also get their own suturing kit and learn how to splint broken bones and control life-threatening bleeding. Students become certified by the American Red Cross in First Aid; optional babysitting certification can also be obtained. Students also get to hear from professionals in various healthcare fields and test their knowledge in mini-competitions with prizes.
